A father-to-be, 41, has described himself as "lucky and blessed" after his life was saved by a gym owner's swift actions following a cardiac arrest during a workout. Chris Wall collapsed mid-class at Catalyst Training in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, in June 2025, but quick-thinking owner Robin Oakley, 39, performed CPR and used a defibrillator, proving crucial in his survival.
Weeks after the life-threatening incident, Mr Wall is not only back in the gym but is also preparing for the British Heart Foundation’s London to Brighton bike ride and eagerly awaiting the arrival of his "miracle baby" as the anniversary of his cardiac arrest approaches.
